The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 184

Lysander took a deep breath, doing his best to keep his cool.

He closed his eyes, trying to drift off to sleep.

Just as he was about to enter dreamland, Thalassa next to him suddenly stirred. She reached out, both arms and legs sprawled over him, murmuring in her sleep. "Baby, my baby..."

Her hand rested on his belly, and her leg draped over his, half turning to cuddle him.

Thalassa's body was soft and warm, and her sweet scent and touch vividly lingered around him.

This was the familiar scent he had been missing for five years.

Lysander swallowed hard; his throat was parched.

But after recalling the scene where she was about to bolt out of the room, he was worried he might scare her off.

He carefully disentangled himself from her limbs.

The familiar warmth and sweetness slightly retreated. Lysander sighed in relief, turning his back to her, thinking he could finally fall asleep.

But her steady breath, her sweet scent, and her mumbling in her sleep were like a kitten scratching at his heart.

Enough was enough!

If he wasn't worried about scaring her, he would have jumped her bones right then and there.

After reminiscing about that night five years ago, Lysander gritted his teeth. While suppressing his desires, he got up, put on his clothes, and headed to the study.

Tonight, sleep was the last thing he needed. He might as well get some work done.

...

The sky gradually lightened. The moonlight was replaced by the rays of sunlight. Dawn arrived, and a new day began.

Thalassa was sleeping soundly on the incredibly soft and comfortable bed.
